  1. Please add an option to change the default column order in a financial report for a user. This would save quite a bit of time when building long run trend graphs etc

    Hi Les, this is possible through the use of Custom reports. Once you change the format of the report, Save as custom where you'll also find you have the option to make this the default. 

    It will need to be set up for each financial report you'd like to implement this across, but once done can be an easy select each time it's used by yourself or another in the org. 

  2. The ability to analyse year on year customer revenue by selecting your time frame and comparing across a number of selected years (this is what I would like) or by month / year. Allows to have a quick snapshot on how each customer account is performing and address any obvious loss of custom / sales. A basic analysis report but a highly useful and informative one. The ability to compare in this way exists on Xero for profit and loss but not for customer accounts.

  3. To have a report for NET Sales for a month. Currently there is a report that only shows what's payable with VAT (not all sales are vatable) so, when trying to reconcile with the in-house ordering program it becomes a whole big xcel spreadsheet exercise...... takes to much time. the report also includes Prepayments which are not goods sold, but money transactions in advance

  4. Since the OLD reports are going i think there should be a way to reset the New Custom reports to default layouts as on one of our clients someone managed to break a report and without noticing we were using incorrect figures for some time

    Hey community, 👋 thanks for your support on this idea, I'm popping in to switch this across to delivered, as we rolled this out for the Project details report too 🎉

    Thanks again for your feedback. It helps us to continue shaping the future of reports for projects here at Xero.

  6. It would be great to be able to enter custom comparative dates on the new reports.

    For example, say I want to run a 10 month P&L report for a client, the only "custom" comparative option is the previous 10 months. What I really want to be able to do (quickly, not by editing the report) is compare with the same 10 months from the previous year.

    Having a proper custom date entry field would enable this to be possible and surely assist in other comparative scenarios.

    Image attached showing the limited "custom" option when running the aforementioned 10 month…

    Thanks for the image, Benjamin. This is possible atm, however when selecting your 'Compare with' you'll want to select 1 year, rather than the Custom date range. 

    This'll then give you a comparative period to the previous year based on the date range you've set in the report - I've attached an example I've created in the demo co.

    Hello everyone, we want to round back here and let you know, you can already achieve this idea by either using Payable Invoice Summary & Detail or Aged Payable Detail & Summary report, as we’ve mentioned earlier. From there, you’ll be able to summarise/group the report by Contact Group.

    That being said, we’ll update the status of this idea. Welcome to raise a new idea if you’re thinking about different functionalities.

  8. Include a report that allows you to roll up expenses on a per contact basis but only for certain accounts. We would love to see what our spend is on software and hosting costs by vendor.

  9. If you take $20 out of your own wallet and put it in your pocket, that's not "Cash Received," but the Xero Executive Summary report treats it that way.

    Transfers between cash accounts that you own (e.g. between two checking accounts) show as "Cash Received" and "Cash Spent" in the ExecSum report. This is clearly wrong.

    Please fix this. If you insist this is somehow a feature, please add an option to exclude internal transfers from the Cash section of the report.

    Putting it another way: the Cash Received and Cash Spent numbers should reflect what was actually received and…

    Thanks for bringing this up here, Rob. This is something the team quickly drew their attention to, as well - You'll find we've recently released a update for the new Executive Summary report to exclude transfers from 'Cash received' and 'Cash spent'. 🙂

  11. You've created these great packs or ability to create one, but for majority of businesses when they are reporting for the month that was in a meeting they want a bank reconciliation or a transactions listing with opening bank balance, transactions and closing bank balances!
    Can we please have this as an option to add into the Report Packs.

    Hi everyone - We've just released an update to Account Transactions report and added a Contact field! 

    Next time you open this report you should see 'Contact' as an option in Columns, Grouping/Summarising and Filtering - See an example below and enjoy making use of this new field and adding another level of insights to your reporting in Xero 🙂 

  13. URGENT- when editing Adviser year reports there are highlighted areas that we could select & un-highlight in the past. This ability was removed during the recent reports upgrade (only Bold, Underline & Italic remain). This means highlighted areas have to be completely re-typed as un-highlighted text & then the original text deleted - wasting a lot of time on re-creating information already available.

    Thank you for engaging here, Nick.

    We recently launched an ability to create notes for the Management report pack by clicking 'Insert content' at the bottom of your page then you'll see 'Enable Add Note' option from there. This feature is available in the newer version of the main report pack which includes, Executive Summary, Profit & Loss, Cash Summary, Balance Sheet, Aged Receivables Summary, and Aged Payable Summary reports. You’ll also be able to annotate any figure in your report and link to a text-block for further information too.

    I’ll mark this idea as ‘delivered’ now. Feel free to explore more ideas or raise a new idea here. 

  15. Be able to customise the Receivable/Payable invoice reports to include paid date to more closely manage cash flow

    Hey Leigh! I want to let you know that we've recently enhanced both our Receivable and Payable Detail reports. Where you can see when the invoice or bill was paid through the 'Last payment date' column.

    Thank you for submitting your idea here, I'll mark this as delivered now 🙂.

  16. "I would really like to see you add a reporting function that has

    1. individual PNL for each month in the current year - Jul/Aug/Sep etc
    2. a YTD total for the current year, and
    3. a YTD total for the previous year to enable comparison with 2.

    As an adviser to many small businesses this is the report that I (& I expect most advisers) are really looking for to help our clients

    The current reporting does not enable us to have the management discussions with clients as easily as it should.

    All the information is within the software, so it is…

  17. I think it would be beneficial to be able to add commentary to the management report so that variance analysis can be explained to the owner of the business / interested parties (i.e. investors, banks) rather than just presenting a set of figures.

    We want to update you that we've launched the new management report pack to all regions, which you'll have the ability to add commentary to your report through a text block to accompany tabular report data, or a whole blank page containing text - see our article here for more information.

    That being said, I'll mark this thread as 'delivered' 😄.

  18. On the management report it would be nice to have more flexibility with the way it is laid out. On the front cover for example we would like out logo to sit in the middle of the page at the bottom whereas at the moment the logo doesn't even go on the front cover.

    Also we would like to be able to enter a footer on to the front cover which doesn't sppear on the rest of the pages.

    Is this something that we can do that we just don't know about? If not please can you look at including…

    I want to update you that the new management report pack is now released to all regions! You're now able to apply all of the customisations which are available in our other new style reports, to the same reports within a pack. 

    In saying that, I'll move this thread as 'delivered' 🙂.

  19. We run weekly management reporting cycle and find it very difficult to run weekly report. can a template be created for weekly report management report

  20. Would you please create a General Ledger Detailed Report so that we can have a nice Xero standardized report instead of having to export to excel and print from there.

    We need to send this report to clients, and it isn't very attractive at the moment - printing from excel.

    Hi everyone, 100% appreciate everyone wanting to hear from us in the idea here! We've made big strides with reporting across Xero and have more improvements in store.

    We've put a lot of focus into the Account Transactions report, and with options to include all the detailed columns as the General Ledger Detailed report, as well as have a running balance you can create the report you're after in Xero, or exported to be able to share with clients.

    Once set up, Save your report as custom, and if you think you'll often access it you can Favourite to jump on in, anytime! 😊
